(S.Gonzalez/L.Shrum) Mayor Gutierrez recognized Parks Director Lauren Shrum who presented an agreement to dedicate right-of-way (ROW) in existing parkland for secondary access for additional development in the Hallie's Cove subdivision in exchange for funding public park improvements and dedication of land. As part of the Hallie's Cove development, 37.87 acres of parkland was dedicated in 2 separate parcels. The only parkland improvement at that time was a 1,110-foot long    8 separate parcels. The only parkland improvement at that time was a 1,110-foot long by 10-foot wide concrete trail on the 25.3-acre northern parcel. The developer has come in with a proposal to purchase additional land adjacent to the existing neighborhood and is extending one street. The development requires two points of access and thus a connection through existing parkland is needed. Staff worked with the developer to negotiate an appropriate amount of public benefit for the value of the ROW needed for the road extension as well as required parkland dedication improvement fees. An amount of $30,000 will be provided for the city to purchase a small playscape unit (to be installed by the city) on the northern park parcel. Staff also negotiated a 1,000-foot long by 55-foot wide greenbelt on the back side of the new development which provides the opportunity for a trail connection between the two park parcels. City staff will construct the trail in the future when the development is complete. Councilmember Dahle had a question about a buffer belt and if a concrete trail would be constructed. Parks Director Lauren Shrum stated that there will not be a concrete trail built in the plan. Mayor Gutierrez asked for a motion to approve Resolution 23-R-128.    Moved by Councilmember Michael Dahle, seconded by Councilmember Allison Heyward  AYE: Mayor Pro-Tem Michelle Watson, Councilmember Mark Davis, Councilmember Paul Macaluso, Councilmember Michael Dahle, Councilmember Robert Westbrook, Councilmember Allison Heyward, Councilmember Tim Brown Passed   Workshop   19.Workshop on the review of requirements for parking/storage surfaces.

There were several businesses that reached out to the Council about the requirements for parking /storage surfaces. Councilmember Scagliola suggested a committee to include some of the businesses that were issued notices of violations. Staff researched how nearby cities addressed the issue. The Engineering department researched the materials used and how they hold up with water retention. Based on this research, the scope of this issue is bigger than what was initially thought. Staff need to know if the Council wants all impacted businesses and residents to be represented on this committee to ensure all issues are addressed.    9 Mayor Gutierrez agreed that the committee needed a good mix of residents and business owners to address all the concerns.   Mayor Gutierrez recessed to a closed session at 7:20 p.m. Closed Session   20.The City Council will meet in closed session under Section 551.087 of the Texas Government Code, Deliberation Regarding Economic Development Negotiations; Closed Meeting.

(S.Gonzalez/J.Walters) BACKGROUND In the EMS, Utility Billing, Library and Magazine functions, services are provided to customers up front and billing is settled later. Since services are provided before receiving payment, inevitably the City has customers that do not pay for the services provided. When this occurs, staff reaches out to the customer to try to collect the outstanding payment including follow-up notices and phone calls to try to reach out to the customer to remind them of the outstanding balance and encourage payment. However, the longer the customer account goes without a payment the less likely that any payment will be received. Once a customer account reaches 180 days without payment, Staff brings those accounts to the City Council to be “written off”. This process is an accounting procedure following the Generally Accepted Accounted Principles (GAAP), which lays the framework of accounting practices in the U.S. This designation means it is unlikely those outstanding balances will ever be collected. This leads to an accounting adjustment on the City’s Financial Statements to accurately show how much is still outstanding and is reasonable to expect collection. If a customer’s account has been written off, this does not erase or forgive that debt. The city can and does collect some portion of the amount owed by those customers. This can be through the debt collection agency used by EMS or if the customer returns to the City and requests new services through the Magazine or Utility Billing. On August 27, 2019, City Council approved the Schertz EMS Charity Care Policy.  Approving the Charity Care Policy benefits our citizens who do not have insurance and do not have the ability to pay for ambulance services.  In the past, these accounts were sent to collections and written off throughout year with little expectation to recover any revenue.     When library materials are damaged while in possession of a cardholder, or when cardholders lose or never return library materials, the cost of the item is charged to the cardholders account. In addition, a $5.00 processing fee is charged per item. The processing fee is a recovery fee for such things as barcodes, property stamps, mylar covers, and RFID tags that are added to library property prior to circulation to the public. Library items can be checked out for 3 weeks and subsequently renewed for 2 additional 3-week periods, for a total check-out period of 9 weeks. If items are not returned at that time, they go into an overdue notification process. The first notification goes out by email, text or phone at 7 days overdue, followed by additional notifications at 30 days, 45 days, and a final billing notification at 60 days overdue. The resolution authorizes the debt for these areas that is more than 180 days outstanding as of December 1, 2023, to be written off. These write-offs come before council quarterly and last came before council on September 19, 2023. Previous Write off Amount:  March 2021:$1,330,234.88 June 2021:$904,511.15 September 2021:$750,502.47 December 2021:$587.362.56 March 2022:$675,977.28 June 2022:$564,972.72 September 2022:$842,197.07 December 2022:$660,162.69 March 2023:$709,180.00 June 2023:$629,399.75 September 2023:$1,043,989.48 December 2023:$736,479.42 GOAL To approve write-offs of bad debt in accordance with the standards laid out by GAAP. COMMUNITY BENEFIT This will show the City's Financial Statements according to national standards and City policy. SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION Approve Resolution No. 23-R-132  to write off receivables that are older than 180 days. FISCAL IMPACT This accounting adjustment will not affect the City’s Budget or financial standing. The amount written off is estimated during the budget process and is accounted for in the revenue estimations and the bad debt expense accounts. The action taken tonight will reduce the amount shown as owed to the City by $736,479.42 and set it equal to the amount seen as still reasonably collectible. The breakdown is as follows: EMS - $482,526.29 EMS Charity Care - $225,262.77 Utility Billing - $28,690.36 Library - $0.00 Magazine - $0.00 RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends Council approve Resolution No.23-R-132.

(G. Rodgers/D. Kramer) BACKGROUND Opticom Emergency Vehicle Preemption, or EVP for those in the industry, helps to get first responders on the scene faster and safer. Police, fire, and EMS agencies use the Opticom system to better and faster navigate through traffic and intersections when responding to calls through the use of traffic signal preemption devices. For almost 60 years, Opticom traffic preemption solutions have been the industry leader and standard by providing total assurance and comprehensive, innovative emergency response solutions. EVP technology has evolved throughout the decades to ensure even faster response times for emergency response agencies, as seconds truly count when it comes to a 9-1-1 call. From infrared and GPS technologies to newer, Cloud-based models with more integrations than ever, agencies have continued to trust Opticom with their EVP needs.

If Whelen determines that none of these alternatives is reasonably available, Customer shall, upon written request from Whelen, cease use of, and, if applicable, return, such materials as are the subject of the infringement claim.

In addition, Whelen reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to suspend Customer’s access to any Application Services (i) upon notice to Customer if Whelen reasonably suspects that Customer has breached this Agreement; or (ii) for any of the following reasons: (a) to prevent damages or risk to, or degradation of, the Application Services; (b) to comply with any law, regulation, court order, or other governmental request; (c) to otherwise protect Whelen from potential legal liability; or (d) in the event an invoice remains unpaid for forty-five (45) or more days from the invoice due date, and Whelen will use reasonable efforts to provide Customer with notice prior to or promptly following any such suspension of the Application Services pursuant to the foregoing ((a)-(d)).

In addition to the foregoing, upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, the Parties’ respective obligations under the provisions of Sections 1, 3, 6.4, 7, 9, 10, 11.5, 11.6, 12, and 13 will survive the termination of this Agreement.

For so long as Whelen retains any Customer Content under this Section, Whelen’s obligations under Sections 5 and 7 shall survive and apply to the retained Customer Content, and, when Whelen retains any Customer Content for purposes of (a) or (b) of this Section, Whelen shall only process the retained Customer Content for the purpose for which it was retained and delete the Customer Content as soon as the purpose for which it was retained no longer applies. Whelen acknowledges that Customer Content retained under this Section may be subject to subpoenas or requests under the federal Freedom of Information Act or analogous state laws, and Whelen will reasonably assist Customer by providing the relevant retained Customer Content in accordance with Customer’s reasonable instructions in order for Customer to respond to any such subpoena or request to the extent required by applicable law. 12.3. Certification of Deletion. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Organization Data Deletion Form, once executed and returned by Whelen, serves as a written certification of destruction designed to prevent retrieval or recreation of data according to Whelen’s standards and policies. 12.4. Option for Return. Within ten (10) days of termination of this Agreement, in the event Customer wishes for Customer Content to be returned, Customer shall notify Whelen in writing requesting the return of Customer Content.

Waiver. No waiver under this Agreement will be valid or binding unless set forth in writing and duly executed by the Party against whom enforcement of such waiver is sought. Any such waiver will constitute a waiver only with respect to the specific matter described therein and will in no way impair the rights of the Party granting such waiver in any other respect or at any other time. Any delay or forbearance by either Party in exercising any right hereunder will not be deemed a waiver of that right. 13.9. Force Majeure. Except with respect to payment obligations hereunder, if any, if a Party is prevented or delayed in performance of its obligations hereunder as a result of circumstances beyond such Party’s reasonable control, including, by way of example, war, riot, fires, floods, epidemics, or failure of public utilities or public transportation systems, such failure or delay will not be deemed to constitute a material breach of this Agreement, but such obligation will remain in full force and effect, and will be performed or satisfied as soon as reasonably practicable after the termination of the relevant circumstances causing such failure or delay, provided that if such Party is prevented or delayed from performing for more than ninety (90) days, the other Party may terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days’ written notice and the Agreement shall terminate if such performance has not resumed within those thirty (30) days. 13.10.

(S.Gonzalez/L.Shrum) BACKGROUND The city purchased 10.5 acres at FM 482 and Bunker Street from The Great Springs Project for a future trailhead for the Dry Comal Creek Trail.  The city applied for and was awarded a $300,000 grant from Texas Parks & Wildlife Department to develop the trailhead and trail loop within the park.  The new park needs a formal name and the Parks & Recreation Advisory Board discussed this at their meeting on September 25, 2023.  The board recommended the name "Dry Comal Creek Nature Park" because of the ecological and historical significance of the creek that runs through the property. The "nature park" designation was also chosen (similar to what we have at Crescent Bend Nature Park) to denote that the majority of the park will remain natural open space and the focus will be on passive recreational activities versus active recreation (i.e. no sports fields.)   GOAL Officially name the 10.5-acre park property at FM 482 and Bunker Street as Dry Comal Creek Nature Park. COMMUNITY BENEFIT The property will be a future trailhead to the City of Schertz' Dry Comal Creek Trail and the regional Great Springs Trail.  There is a possibility of a future trail connection to the Great Northern Trail along Schwab Road, either on-street, or off-street through an adjacent drainage corridor.  The property is unique as well because of its location in the historic Comal Settlement area and its location on the El Camino Real de los Tejas National Historic Trail.  Immediately adjacent to the property is a state designated historic cemetery and across the street is the historic St. Joseph's Chapel, both of which are also designated as a Schertz Historic Site by the Schertz Historical Preservation Committee.  Also, across the street is the historic Comal Blacksmith & Mechanical Shop and the additional historic General Store building.  The park property will not only serve as a trailhead for a regional trail system, but will include interpretive signage regarding the history of the area, and potentially serve as a catalyst for development of the area into a cultural hertiage and nature tourism destination.  The loop trail within the 10.5-acre park property will also provide a natural experience similar to what we have in southern Schertz at Crescent Bend Nature Park. SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION Approve Resolution 23-R-133 to approve a recommendation to name the 10.5-acre park property at FM 482 and Bunker Street as Dry Comal Creek Nature Park.

(S.Gonzalez/L.Shrum) BACKGROUND In 2022 staff completed an RFP process for new vendors to perform mowing and landscape maintenance services for the city.  Two vendors were selected during that process - Brightview Landscape Services and Maldonado Nursery and Landscape Services were awarded contracts in February 2023. Brightview was assigned the Hal Baldwin Municipal Complex, the Schertz Public Library Complex, and the parkway medians throughout the city, and Maldonado was assigned the park properties.  Brightview failed to perform the services per the contract specifications and that contract was canceled on Nov. 20, 2023.  Staff reached out to Maldonado as the other contracted provider to see if they would honor the pricing they bid in the RFP in 2022 for the aforementioned properties, and they agreed to honor that pricing.  The attached (Attachment A) is a contract amendment to the existing contract with Maldonado to add the Hal Baldwin Municipal Complex, the Schertz Public Library Complex and the parkway medians to their contract.  The pricing provided by Maldonado is higher than what was bid by Brightview so there is an increase to the costs associated with this contract.  A budget amendment is needed to provide the additional funds so as not to reduce the level of service.  The budget amendment in the amount of $59,349.96 will be included in the upcoming quarterly budget adjustment.

(S.Williams/B.James) BACKGROUND The owner of the property at 409 Main, currently Bar 1899, is requesting a Main Street Local Flavor Grant for $12,969.47 for sewer replacement work. The owner has applied for 3 grants over the past three years, for which the owner has received $19,150.00 in matching grant funds. A prior tenant received $6,500.00 in grants and the current tenant has a grant approved for up to $5,000.00. Properties are eligible to receive up to $40,000.00 over a five-year period. The estimated cost of the sewer work is nearly $40,000. The City will match up to 50% capped at the $12,969.47. GOAL Promote and enhance commercial activity along Main Street to promote the economic, cultural and general welfare of the public. The area around Main Street in Schertz once served as the commercial and social hub of the community. The City seeks to improve the image of the area around Main Street through matching grants that promote local economic development and stimulate business and commercial activities. COMMUNITY BENEFIT Encourage the attraction of small businesses that will create local charm and help develop a sense of place around Main Street. Promote commercial development. Stabilize and improve property values. Foster civic pride. Strengthen the economy of the City by protecting and enhancing the attractiveness of the Main Street area to residents and visitors, as well as provide support of local businesses.  SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION Staff recommends approval of Resolution 23-R-138, approving a Schertz Main Street Local Flavor Economic Development Grant for up to $12,969.47 for 409 Main Street.  FISCAL IMPACT The maximum fiscal impact of approving of this grant is $12,969.47. The City budgets $50,000.00 annually for the Main Street Grant Local Flavor Economic Development program. The City has paid $5,500.00 in Schertz Main Street Local Flavor Economic Development grants this year (and $9,000.00 in historic grants that come from a separate source of funds). The current outstanding liabilities for the Schertz Main Street Local Flavor Economic Development Grant programs total $39,283.38. Approval of this grant would bring the total outstanding liabilities to $52,252.85. While this is above the $44,500.00 of funding left, the City has traditionally either tapped into Contingency Funds or submitted a budget adjustment to Council for approval. One aspect of this program is that the property owner has a year to complete the work (or seek re-approval), so grants can extend past a fiscal year.

(S.Williams/B.James) BACKGROUND A few weeks ago, the City was approached by a representative of the owner of an approximately 13 acre property located at 11958 Schaefer Road, on the south side of Schaefer Road and 1,715 feet east of FM 1518 about wanting to donate the property to the City. The property was formerly used as a maintenance shop and storage yard for an asphalt/paving business. There is paving on the property as well as a double-wide trailer that was used as an office. The environmental report indicates a portion of the property was used as an excavation site and partially filled by the mid 1970s. The property is zoned PRE - Predevelopment District. Staff have visited the site and has started researching it. The owner has provided a Phase 1 and Phase 2 environmental report that staff is reviewing. The representative of the owner indicated that he had been trying to sell it for some time. As noted above, the property had been used by an asphalt/paving company, but when that closed and a new business did not start within 6 months, the property lost its nonconforming use status and rezoning would be needed prior to nearly any other use occurring. The proximity of the surrounding residential uses does not lend itself to an industrial type of business - a residential development would be more compatible, as would some city uses. Staff is not clear how the City might utilize the property yet, but it will probably be in need of property in the southern part of the City in the future. As such, staff is seeking authorization to accept the property. To be clear, staff is still doing due diligence work and could decide not to accept it, but given the limited Council meetings with the holidays, Staff is seeking approval.    GOAL Acquire land that can be used in the future for uses appropriate to the area and needed in the community.  COMMUNITY BENEFIT Accepting donated land allows opportunities for the City to provide or cause to provide needed services and amenities to the community.  SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION Approval of the resolution would authorize the City Manager to execute all documents to accept the property, should that be Staff's final recommendation after completing due diligence work.  FISCAL IMPACT The property owner has offered to donate the land to the City with the City paying closing costs. The land has an assessed value of $397,650.00 by the Bexar County Appraisal District. The structure is assessed at an additional $117,350.00. Staff has a rough estimate of about $85,000.00 to remove the existing asphalt. Staff is not sure whether the structure can be easily used or would have it removed.     RECOMMENDATION Approval of Resolution 23-R-139.

Exhibit A December 15, 2023 Agenda No. 15.   CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM    City Council Meeting:December 19, 2023 Department:Executive Team Subject:Discussion and Action regarding the upcoming City of Schertz appointment to the Schertz Seguin Local Government Corporation (SSLGC) (S.Williams/B.James/L.Busch) BACKGROUND The Schertz Seguin Local Government Corporation (SSLGC) was formed in 1999 to provide drinking water to the cities of Schertz and Seguin.  SSLGC has a five-member board each with a five-year term.  The member cities alternate filling the five seats with one of them expiring each year.  Schertz needs to appoint a new board member to the SSLGC Board of Directors with a term beginning January 1, 2024, and ending December 31, 2028. This will be the third appointee by the City of Schertz, with the current appointees being Richard Dziewit and Richard Braud. Any qualified resident from the City of Schertz can be appointed to this position. A question has arisen as to whether a current City Councilmember could serve, something that has not occurred in the past, from either City as far as staff is aware. While there does not appear to be a clear prohibition, the individual would need to consider any potential conflicts as any appointment could be challenged and reviewed.  Often, Schertz is called upon to take action on SSLGC matters and potential conflicts and legal concerns exist, but again this does not appear to prohibit the appointment of active elected or appointed positions or constitute Dual Office Holding.  Agenda No. 16.   CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM    City Council Meeting:December 19, 2023 Department:Executive Team Subject:Approval of the Classification and Compensation Implementation Plan (S. Williams/S.Gonzalez/J.Kurz) BACKGROUND As presented to Council at the Pre-Budget Retreat in March 2023 and affirmed through the budget process, the top budget priority for FY 23-24 was employee compensation. At the June 20, 2023 City Council meeting, Council approved an agreement with Public Sector Personnel Consultants (PSPC) to conduct a comprehensive classification and compensation study. The primary goal of the study was aligning baseline compensation with the market, which will help to recruit and retain qualified staff. In addition to market evaluation, the study provided an opportunity to evaluate the City’s job titles and job descriptions. The Public Safety Pay Plan was redesigned to address concerns with the current plan. These concerns include narrow pay scales; for example, at the officer rank the current pay scale range is approximately $57,700 - $70,000, a 21% range. The proposed pay scale now extends the range to approximately 37%. These broader ranges increase earning potential at each rank. Additionally, the proposed plan does not include overlap between the ranks, which will further address the existing compression issue. Lastly, the new pay plan offers a 4% increase every year, while the current plan averages 3.25% every two years. Due to this change, Public Safety will no longer receive merit increases and these planned step increases would begin in FY 24-25. This new pay plan will bring all Public Safety entry level positions up to market. Key findings to note:  - Public Safety makes up 44% of the workforce and approximately 59% of the total cost will be to implement the Public Safety Pay Table.  - Sworn/Certified Police, Fire and EMS employees will be placed in the new Public Safety step plans according to their current earned step. Additional results from the study include:  - The City will maintain two separate pay plans – Unified (non-public safety) and Public Safety (sworn/certified personnel).  - Job titles and job questionnaires were reviewed for every position. Some job titles are going to change so that they better reflect the work being performed.  - Pay grades for 77% of the non-public safety jobs surveyed were 5% or more below market.  These positions will be adjusted upward to the appropriate grade.  - In-grade progressions will be used to place employees in the new pay grades with a cap at mid-point. Placement considers time in position and employee's pay rate within their pay grade. Factors such as salary at time of hire and amount of progression in the grade may exclude some employees from receiving an in-grade progression. This applies to the Unified Pay Plan only.  - Department Head positions and higher will be given a lower increase than the market rate study proposes. Study implementation will be effective 12/30/2023 and employees will see pay adjustments (if applicable) on the January 19, 2024 pay date. Employees will also receive individual notification of title and/or pay changes (as applicable). For those employees in the Unified Pay Plan, merit is not budgeted in the current FY 23-24 budget and the plan is to budget for one in FY 24-25. GOAL To approve the implementation plan of the proposed classification and compensation plan. COMMUNITY BENEFIT By having properly classified positions and offering competitive total compensation packages, Schertz will be better situated in the market to recruit and retain top talent.  SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION Recommend Council approval of the Classification and Compensation Implementation Plan. FISCAL IMPACT $1.9 million was allocated in the FY 23-24 budget to implement the results of the classification and compensation study. However, the actual cost is approximately $2.3 million. Staff anticipates being able to absorb this amount in the annual budget through budgetary savings and additional revenues. RECOMMENDATION Recommend Council approval of the Classification and Compensation Implementation Plan.

The proposed use incorporates features to minimize adverse effects, including visual impacts, of the proposed use on adjacent properties. The proposed development will have to meet all site development requirements in Article 9 of the Unified Development Code. The adjacent properties are zoned General Business District and are not currently being used for single-family residential. As a result, no additional screening requirements for residential use will be required. 7. The proposed use meets the standards for the zoning district, or to the extent variations from such standards have been requested, that such variations are necessary to render the use compatible with adjoining development and the neighborhood. The proposed development will have to meet all dimensional and design requirements of the General Business District as mentioned in UDC Section 21.5.7. No variations to the requirements have been requested. 8.

Proposed SUP Conceptual Site Plan 1. The proposed use at the specified location is consistent with the policies embodied in the adopted Comprehensive Land Plan. The subject property is designated as Highway Commercial and Single Family Residential. The Highway Commercial land use designation is intended for regional scale retail and commercial uses located at major highway intersections that can take advantage of the highway frontage. The subject property's location along IH -35 N Access Road is ideal for taking advantage of the highway frontage. Single Family Residential land use designation is intended for a mix of residential with some commercial uses that support the daily activities of development. UDC Section 21.5.11.D Criteria for Approval 2. The proposed use is consistent with the general purpose and intent of the applicable zoning district regulations. General Business District (GB) is intended to provide suitable areas for the development of non -residential uses that may include retail and service establishments that are generally oriented toward serving the overall needs of the community and are usually located along principal transportation corridors. The proposed developments' location along IH -35 N Access Road allows for the development to take advantage of IH -35 traffic and surrounding neighborhoods for business. UDC Section 21.5.11.D Criteria for Approval 3. The proposed use is compatible with and preserves the character and integrity of adjacent developments and neighborhoods and includes improvements either on -site or within the public rights -of- way to mitigate development related adverse impacts, such as safety, traffic, noise, odors, visual nuisances, drainage or other similar adverse effects to adjacent development and neighborhoods. The proposed development is surrounded by adjacent General Business District zoning and is compatible with the existing development. The proposed convenience store with gas pumps will be required to meet all current City of Schertz site development standards stipulated in Article 9. Article 9 is in place to ensure adverse effects of development are minimized and mitigated on neighboring properties. UDC Section 21.5.11.D Criteria for Approval 4. The proposed use does not generate pedestrian and vehicular traffic which will be hazardous or conflict with the existing and anticipated traffic in the neighborhood. The proposed development is proposing two points of access along IH -35 N Access Road which is a one -way road. All proposed access points will be reviewed by the City of Schertz Engineering department and the Texas Department of Transportation. 5. The proposed use incorporates roadway adjustments, traffic control devices or mechanisms, and access restrictions to control traffic flow or divert traffic as may be needed to reduce or eliminate development generated traffic on neighborhood streets. Access to the subject property will be along IH -35 N Access Road. The proposed access points will be reviewed by the City of Schertz Engineering department and the Texas Department of Transportation. UDC Section 21.5.11.D Criteria for Approval 6. The proposed use incorporates features to minimize adverse effects, including visual impacts, of the proposed use on adjacent properties. The proposed development will have to meet all site development requirements in Article 9 of the Unified Development Code. The adjacent properties are zoned General Business and are not being currently used for single -family residential. As a result, no additional screening requirements for residential use will be required. 7. The proposed use meets the standards for the zoning district, or to the extent variations from such standards have been requested, that such variations are necessary to render the use compatible with adjoining development and the neighborhood. The proposed development will have to meet all dimensional and design requirements of the General Business District as mentioned in UDC Section 21.5.7. No variations to the requirements have been requested. UDC Section 21.5.11.D Criteria for Approval 8. The proposed [use] promotes the health, safety or general welfare of the City and the safe, orderly, efficient and healthful development of the City. As part of promoting health, safety and welfare, the City should encourage development compatible with surrounding uses utilizing standards and transitional uses to alleviate negative impacts. As part of promoting health, safety and welfare, the City should encourage development compatible with surrounding uses utilizing standards and transitional uses to alleviate negative impacts. Given the existing General Business District zoning of the adjacent surrounding properties, the location of the subject property on IH -35 N Access Road, and all access to the subject property being from IH -35 N Access Road, the proposed convenience store with gas pumps would not pose an adverse impact on adjacent properties. 9. No application made under these provisions will receive final approval until all back taxed owed to the City have been paid in full. This does not impact the first reading from Council. 10. Other criteria which, at the discretion of the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council deemed relevant and important in the consideration of the Specific Use Permit. Staff has ensured all UDC requirements have been met for the Specific Use Permit, and at this time have not received any special considerations from the Planning and Zoning Commission or the City Council. UDC Section 21.5.11.D Criteria for Approval P&Z Recommendation The Planning and Zoning Commission conducted a public hearing on November 15, 2023, and offered a recommendation of approval with the condition that a building permit is issued within two (2) years of the SUP ordinance approval.

The proposed use is consistent with the general purpose and intent of the applicable zoning district regulations. General Business District (GB) is intended to provide suitable areas for the development of non-residential uses that may include retail and service establishments that are generally oriented toward serving the overall needs of the community and are usually located along principal transportation corridors. The proposed development is for a truck terminal that will serve the existing SYSCO development to the north of the property. Additionally, the proposed truck terminal is located in proximity to IH-35, a principal transportation corridor. 3. The proposed use is compatible with and preserves the character and integrity of adjacent developments and neighborhoods, and includes improvements either on-site or within the public rights-of-way to mitigate development related adverse impacts, such as safety, traffic, noise, odors, visual nuisances, drainage or other similar adverse effects to adjacent development and neighborhoods. The proposed development is surrounded by adjacent General Business District (GB) to the east, west, and south with Manufacturing District (Light) (M-1) to the north, and is compatible with the existing development. The proposed truck terminal will be required to meet all current City of Schertz site development standards stipulated in Unified Development Code (UDC) Article 9. Article 9 is in place to ensure adverse effects of development are minimized and mitigated on neighboring properties. 4. The proposed use does not generate pedestrian and vehicular traffic which will be hazardous or conflict with the existing and anticipated traffic in the neighborhood.  The proposed development is proposing one point of access along Baugh Lane. All proposed access points will be reviewed by the City of Schertz Engineering Department. 5. The proposed use incorporates roadway adjustments, traffic control devices or mechanisms, and access restrictions to control traffic flow or divert traffic as may be needed to reduce or eliminate development generated traffic on neighborhood streets.

The proposed use incorporates features to minimize adverse effects, including visual impacts, of the proposed use on adjacent properties. The proposed development will have to meet all site development requirements in Article 9 of the Unified Development Code. The adjacent properties are zoned General Business District and Manufacturing (Light) District and are not currently being used for single-family residential. As a result, no additional screening requirements for residential use will be required.  7. The proposed use meets the standards for the zoning district, or to the extent variations from such standards have been requested, that such variations are necessary to render the use compatible with adjoining development and the neighborhood. The proposed development will have to meet all dimensional and design requirements of the General Business District as mentioned in UDC Section 21.5.7. No variations to the requirements have been requested. 8. The proposed [use] promotes the health, safety or general welfare of the City and the safe, orderly, efficient and healthful development of the City. As part of promoting health, safety and welfare, the City should encourage development compatible with surrounding uses utilizing standards and transitional uses to alleviate negative impacts. Given the existing General Business and Manufacturing (light) zoning of surrounding properties, access from Baugh Lane, and the proposed use servicing an existing use, the proposed truck terminal would not pose an adverse impact on adjacent properties. 9. No application made under these provisions will receive final approval until all back taxed owed to the City have been paid in full. This does not impact the first reading from Council. 10.

First Reading (B.James/L.Wood/S.Haas) BACKGROUND The applicant is requesting a Specific Use Permit to allow a convenience store with covered gas pumps on approximately 1.61 acres of land, located at the intersection of Schaefer Road and FM 1518, also known as: 11786 Schaefer Road, City of Schertz, Bexar County, Texas, also known as Bexar County property ID: 1396038. The subject property is currently undeveloped and zoned General Business District (GB). Per the letter of intent submitted, the applicant is proposing an approximately 8,725 square foot strip center with a fuel canopy for passenger cars.  On November 3, eighteen (18) public hearing notices were mailed to the surrounding property owners within a 200-foot boundary of the subject property. At the time of this staff report, one (1) response in favor, zero (0) responses neutral, and five (5) responses opposed have been received. A public hearing notice was published in the San Antonio Express on November 29, 2023.  Unlike a zone change, a Specific Use Permit is not subject to LGC, Local Government Code 211.006(d), thus a 3/4 majority vote is not required by City Council. GOAL The proposed Specific Use Permit is to allow a convenience store with gas pumps on approximately 1.61 acres of land located at 11786 Schaefer Road. COMMUNITY BENEFIT It is the City’s desire to promote safe, orderly, efficient development and ensure compliance with the City’s vision of future growth. SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION When evaluating Specific Use Permits, staff uses the criteria listed in UDC section 21.5.11.D. The criteria are listed below. 1. The proposed use at the specified location is consistent with the policies embodied in the adopted Comprehensive Land Plan. The Comprehensive Land Use Plan, through the South Schertz Sector Plan, identifies this area as Mixed Use Neighborhood. The Mixed Use Neighborhood land use designation is intended to incorporate a variety of housing types with limited commercial in the manner of traditional neighborhood design. The proposed strip center with gas pumps fits the limited commercial land use desired in Mixed Use Neighborhood designated areas, and therefore the proposed Specific Use Permit is generally in conformance with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, through the South Schertz Sector Plan. 2. The proposed use is consistent with the general purpose and intent of the applicable zoning district regulations. General Business District (GB) is intended to provide suitable areas for the development of non-residential uses which offer a wide variety of retail and service establishments that are generally oriented toward serving the overall needs of the entire community. The proposed strip center with gas pumps would meet the intent of the zoning district.  3. The proposed use is compatible with and preserves the character and integrity of adjacent developments and neighborhoods, and includes improvements either on-site or within the public rights-of-way to mitigate development related adverse impacts, such as safety, traffic, noise, odors, visual nuisances, drainage or other similar adverse effects to adjacent development and neighborhoods. The subject property lies at the intersection of Schaefer Road and FM 1518, and is currently zoned General Business District (GB). Other properties around this intersection are similarly zoned for commercial uses. The current use for the subject property is undeveloped. Across Schaefer Road to the north is a Dollar General, while there are two properties to the east that are undeveloped and the Rose Garden Elementary School. Directly to the west is the Willow Grove Estates Subdivision. With the proposed strip center being mostly surrounded by commercially zoned land, and being at the intersection of two thoroughfares, the proposed Specific Use Permit would not pose an adverse impact on the surrounding properties. Given the adjacent commercial development, neighboring commercial zoning districts, and the property abutting FM 1518 a principal arterial; the proposed use is compatible with the character and integrity of the neighborhood. The applicant will have to meet all site design standards in Article 9, which is in place to ensure adverse effects of development are minimized and mitigated on neighboring properties.    4. The proposed use does not generate pedestrian and vehicular traffic which will be hazardous or conflict with the existing and anticipated traffic in the neighborhood. The proposed development will have two points of access on two separate roads, Schaefer Road and Brook Orchard. This combined with no proposed acces to FM 1518 will minimize the hazardous effect of traffic. The Engineering Department will review a more detailed traffic impact analysis at the time of the site plan process. 5. The proposed use incorporates roadway adjustments, traffic control devices or mechanisms, and access restrictions to control traffic flow or divert traffic as may be needed to reduce or eliminate development generated traffic on neighborhood streets. Access will be from Schaefer Road and Brook Orchard, minimizing the traffic onto the main thoroughfare FM1518. 6. The proposed use incorporates features to minimize adverse effects, including visual impacts, of the proposed use on adjacent properties. The proposed development will have to meet all site requirements in Article 9 including the screening and buffering that will be required to the neighboring residential properties to the west. Article 9 is in place to ensure adverse effects are minimized and mitigated.  7. The proposed use meets the standards for the zoning district, or to the extent variations from such standards have been requested, that such variations are necessary to render the use compatible with adjoining development and the neighborhood. The proposed development will have to meet all dimensional and design requirement of the General Business District as stipulated in UDC Section 21.5.7. No variations to the requirements have been requested. 8. The proposed [use] promotes the health, safety or general welfare of the City and the safe, orderly, efficient and healthful development of the City. As part of promoting health, safety and welfare, the City should encourage development compatible with surrounding uses utilizing standards and transitional uses to alleviate negative impacts. Given the existing General Business zoning of the subject property and adjacent properties, the proposed development would act as a buffer for the residential portions of the Willow Grove Subdivision from FM 1518, a major thoroughfare. 9. No application made under these provisions will receive final approval until all back taxes owed to the City have been paid in full. This does not impact consideration of the first reading from Council. 10. Other criteria which, at the discretion of the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council are deemed relevant and important in the consideration of the Specific Use Permit. Staff has ensured all UDC requirements have been met, the Planning and Zoning Commission added a condition of approval that the conceptual site plan be adhered to as best as possible.  RECOMMENDATION A Specific Use Permit allows for discretionary City Council approval of uses with unique or widely varying operating characteristics or unusual site development features, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this UDC. Approval of a specific use permit authorizes a property owner to submit subsequent development applications consistent with the approved Specific Use Permit. The Planning & Zoning Commission conducted a public hearing on November 15, 2023 and offered a recommendation of approval with a condition that the applicant adhere to the conceptual site plan as much as possible. The recommendation passed with a 4-2 vote. One page of the conceptual site plan has been attached to Ordinance 23-S-34 to illustrate the condition imposed by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Due to the compatibility between the surrounding land uses and the property being in conformance with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, staff recommends approval of the Specific Use Permit to allow a convenience store with gas pumps at the subject property conditioned upon the following:   A building permit is approved within two (2) years of the adoption of the SUP Ordinance in accordance with Unified Development Code Article 5, Section 21.5.11.F Expiration of Specific Use Permit.  1.

As a Willow Grove resident/homeowner, caregiver of a family member with health and mobility issues and my home being just beyond the 200 ft of the proposed gasoline pumps, I am deeply opposed to the City of Schertz granting this permit. The health risks of the exposure to benzene and other toxins that are possible by living in such close proximity to gasoline pumps are both significant and present danger to the residents. Our subdivision is already challenged with the Dollar General located at this intersection which adds more pedestrian and vehicle traffic and idling exhaust fumes. It is also a safety challenge when attempting to simply access the subdivision safely. Please consider the following in not allowing this permit to proceed: American Journal of Public Health study titled Residential Proximity to Environmental Hazards and Adverse Health Outcomes Am J Public Health. 2011 December; 101(Suppl 1): S37–S52. doi: 10.2105/AJPH.2011.300183 which can be accessed here cites how living near environmental hazards contributes to poorer health and disproportionate health outcomes. They conducted a substantive review and critique of the literature regarding residential proximity to environmental hazards and adverse pregnancy outcomes, childhood cancer, cardiovascular and respiratory illnesses, end-stage renal disease, and diabetes. Several studies have found that living near hazardous wastes sites, highly trafficked roads, and gas stations among other sites are related to an increased risk of adverse health outcomes. Government agencies should consider these findings in establishing rules and permitting and enforcement procedures to reduce pollution from environmentally burdensome facilities and land uses. In 2021 the Community and Environmental Defense Services shared their in depth research (which can be accessed here) for the Myrtle Beach Healthy Neighborhoods Coalition that cites numerous research points on the concerns about having a gas station-convenience store close to their homes. The residents learned that a number of scientific studies have documented an increased risk of cancer and other adverse health effects among those living within 500- to a 1,000-feet of a gas station. The risk is due to benzene and other harmful compounds released from gasoline storage tank vents and at the pump. A number of compounds injurious to human health are released from gas stations during vehicle fueling and from underground storage tank vents. These harmful compounds include: benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, and xylene (BTEX). The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency echoed concerns about the health risk associated with gas station emissions in their School Siting Guidelines when within 500 to 1,000 feet. Lastly, gas stations when abandoned present petroleum brownfields, as outlined by the EPA here which was just updated March 28, 2023 on the EPA website. Brownfield is a term applied to a property where its expansion, redevelopment, or reuse may be complicated by the presence or potential presence 2 of a hazardous substance. A petroleum brownfield is a type of brownfield where the contaminant is petroleum. Of the estimated 450,000 brownfield sites in the U.S., approximately one-half are thought to be impacted by petroleum, much of it from leaking underground storage tanks (USTs) at old gas stations. These sites blight the surrounding neighborhoods and threaten human health and the environment. Petroleum can contaminate groundwater, the source of drinking water for nearly half of the U.S. population. Petroleum brownfields, such as old abandoned gas stations, require significant taxpayer funds for their potential clean up and reuse. Thank you and I urge you to not allow this specific use development to proceed.

There are gas pumps on FM 78 and the major highway less than 2-minute drive from our neighborhood. Thank You Kingsley A 1 Samuel Haas From:Symone <uk_symone@yahoo.com> Sent:Tuesday, November 14, 2023 2:27 PM To:planning@schertz.com Subject:PLSPU20230206 Dear Mr. Haas and The City of Schertz Planning and Zoning Commission, I am wri ng concerning PLSPU20230206, the Specific Use Permit to allow a convenience store with gasoline pumps at the intersec on of Schaefer Road and FM 1518 (11786 Schaefer Road, Schertz, TX 78154). As the mother of 2 young children living within 200 5 of the proposed gasoline pumps, I am strongly oppose to the City of Schertz gran ng this permit. The health risks of daily exposure to benzene and other toxins posed by living in close proximity to gasoline pumps are simply too grave. We are already exposed to jet fuels, air and noise pollutants coming from the JBSA flight line, however those concerns were present at the me of purchasing our home. Setback distance limits for construc ng gas sta ons adjacent to residen al homes don’t adequately account for toxic vapor fumes. The setback calcula ons generally assume about 0.1 lbs of fuel vapor emi@ed per 1,000 gallons of gasoline. Unfortunately, despite modern safety regula ons and equipment, observed evapora ve vapor losses are actually in the 1.4 to 1.7 lbs per 1,000 gallon range (over ten mes higher than es mated). Not surprisingly, numerous municipali es across the country have deemed even California’s 300 5 setback as woefully insufficient. Setbacks of 500 5 to 750 5 are becoming more common especially given that benzene is being detected well over 300 5 from gasoline dispensing facili es. No amount of benzene is safe. This proposed convenience store with gas pumps significantly jeopardizes the health of several families with children living within 200 5 of the proposed site. If we’re responsible enough to consider a 300 5 buffer, the number of impacted households increases more than twofold. Furthermore, the recently constructed Rose Garden Elementary School lies directly across the street and within 300 5 of the proposed pumps. Not only does this pose health risks to the students and faculty, but it also adds to the exis ng traffic conges on where numerous accidents have already transpired. The detrimental impacts of this proposal extend beyond the substancial health and safety risks that would burden this community. Na onally, convenience store holdups account for 6% of all robberies. This proposal stands to increase the risk of crime in very close proximity to an elementary school. The Willow Grove neighborhood, already forced to contend with the light pollu on and displeasing signage of the newly built Dollar General on the adjacent corner of Schaefer Road, would be further subjected to downward pressure on property values and damage its appeal as a safe, quiet neighborhood beside an elementary school. I urge our city planners to do be@er by its residents and take necessary measures to ensure this proposal is denied. There are ample alterna ve uses for this plot that could actually improve the lives of surrounding residents rather than disrupt and endanger them. Thank you for your me and efforts on this ma@er. Sincerely, Mrs. Symone Owens 10501 Pecan Branch Schertz, TX 78154 uk_symone@yahoo.com 1 Emily Delgado From:Teresa Smith <terecsla@gmail.com> Sent:Tuesday, November 7, 2023 9:34 PM To:planning@schertz.com Cc:UK_symone@yahoo.com Subject:Reply - PLSPU20230206 Dear Mr. Haas, I am wri ng concerning PLSPU20230206, the Specific Use Permit to allow a convenience store with gasoline pumps at the intersec on of Schaefer Road and FM 1518 (11786 Schaefer Road, Schertz, TX 78154). As the mother of 2 young children living within 200 3 of the proposed gasoline pumps, I am vehemently opposed to the City of Schertz gran ng this permit. The health risks of daily exposure to benzene and other toxins posed by living in close proximity to gasoline pumps are simply too grave. Setback distance limits for construc ng gas sta ons adjacent to residen al homes don’t adequately account for toxic vapor fumes. The setback calcula ons generally assume about 0.1 lbs of fuel vapor emi;ed per 1,000 gallons of gasoline. Unfortunately, despite modern safety regula ons and equipment, observed evapora ve vapor losses are actually in the 1.4 to 1.7 lbs per 1,000 gallon range (over ten mes higher than es mated). Not surprisingly, numerous municipali es across the country have deemed even California’s 300 3 setback as woefully insufficient. Setbacks of 500 3 to 750 3 are becoming more common especially given that benzene is being detected well over 300 3 from gasoline dispensing facili es. No amount of benzene is safe. This proposed convenience store with gas pumps significantly jeopardizes the health of several families with children living within 200 3 of the proposed site. If we’re responsible enough to consider a 300 3 buffer, the number of impacted households increases more than twofold. Furthermore, the recently constructed Rose Garden Elementary School lies directly across the street and within 300 3 of the proposed pumps. Not only does this pose health risks to the students and faculty, but it also adds to the exis ng traffic conges on where numerous accidents have already transpired. The detrimental impacts of this proposal extend beyond the substancial health and safety risks that would burden this community. Na onally, convenience store holdups account for 6% of all robberies. This proposal stands to increase the risk of crime in very close proximity to an elementary school. The Willow Grove neighborhood, already forced to contend with the light pollu on and displeasing signage of the newly built Dollar General on the adjacent corner of Schaefer Road, would be further subjected to downward pressure on property values and damage its appeal as a safe, quiet neighborhood beside an elementary school. I urge our city planners to do be;er by its residents and take necessary measures to ensure this proposal is denied. There are ample alterna ve uses for this plot that could actually improve the lives of surrounding residents rather than disrupt and endanger them. Thank you for your me and efforts on this ma;er.
